DC‐gated high resolution three‐dimensional lung imaging during free‐breathing

To use the acquisition of the k‐space center signal (DC signal) implemented into a Cartesian three‐dimensional (3D) FLASH sequence for retrospective respiratory self‐gating and, thus, for the examination of the whole human lung in high spatial resolution during free breathing.
